"Present time!"  I shriek, throwing myself into Scorpius' lap, grinning like a maniac.

"Oof." Scorpius groans as I fall on top of him.

I pull out a green parcel with silver ribbon around it and hit him softly over the head with it. "Merry Christmas pea brain." 

Scorpius looks at me as he slowly unties the ribbon.

"Oh my god! Hurry up you slow poke!" I pout and his eyes soften. 

He rolls his eyes and opens the size of the present. He peeks inside and his eyes grow wide. "You didn't."

"I did." I smile as he grins at his present.

He slides it out of the paper and screeches, dropping the box on the floor. "OH MY GOD." He screams , flapping his hands up and down. "HOW DID YOU GET IT SIGNEDDDDDDDD!" He squeals as he runs his fingers of the signatures on his new Sherlock box set. 

I laugh, "I have my ways," I say mysteriously. It sounds more romantic than the truth of me standing in a queue for seven hours in the pouring rain to get it signed.

Scorpius grins at me and pulls me to him, crushing me in his arms, "You are so amazing." He whispers to me and I smile.

Scorpius pulls out a large purple package with a golden ribbon around it. "Your turn." He smiles.

"Hold on," my mum calls out to the room, "before you open anything else." She picks up a stack of soft presents and begins to throw them one by one to their new owners. I grab my out of the air as it flies to me and open it eagerly. I smile as I pull it over my head. It's a black turtleneck with a simple white R on the front. It's much more toned down than the others and I smile. It's warmth envelops me and I feel safe within its grasps.

"And last but not least," my mum holds up the final package, "Scorpius." She tosses it across the room to us and I gape at her. I turn to Scorpius and watch as his face lights up. He smiles broadly as he pulls out a deep green jumper with a yellow S on the front.
He puts it on and looks at me with the dorkiest little grin on his face.

I grab his hand and pull him up with me. We run across the room to my grandma Weasley and I hug her tightly. "Thank you grandma!" I smile sincerely and step back as Scorpius hugs her. He whispers something in her ear and she smiles to him, "my pleasure."

We sit ourselves back down and Scorpius places the huge purple present on my lap.

I look up at him and smile slowly as I begin to unwrap the present. I pull off the paper to reveal two books and a long slim box.

"Oh my god," I whisper as I look up at him. "How did you know?" I smile as I run my fingers over the covers of my new books.

"Because you go on about them all time," Scorpius smiles down at me and kisses my hair softly.

"You do know I'm gonna read these to you right." I grin, holding up the slim novels.

"I expect nothing less," he presses kisses softly into my temple.

I pick up the slender box and slowly pull the lid off. I gasp as the necklace inside it catches the light. The silver necklaces glints as Scorpius picks it up and unhooks the clasp. He picks up my hair and slides it out of the way. He slips the necklace around my neck and does it up. I glance down at the delicate silver R around my neck.

"It's so beautiful," I whisper and I curl up against Scorpius' chest. I bury my head into his shoulder and I kiss his neck softly. "Thank you so much," I look back up at him and take in how he looks. His hair is ruffled and his eyes smile almost as much as his mouth does. His Weasley jumper envelops him and he envelops me.

"You look like a real part of the family," I smile as I kiss him.

He grins at me and pulls me into his arms. "I love you," he whispers. My breath catches as I hear those words.
